Sound bar with iPhone dock at reasonable price?

I'm looking for a sound bar/home theater system for my girlfriend that she can also put her iPhone into for music. Looking to keep it under $300... Any suggestions?

I've installed the iLive and it's horrible. Every time I've set it up has been for TV use and not for ipod use though.
I bought my mom the Kicker iK501 for Christmas and it's amazing! It actually has it's own passive subwoofer. I would highly recommend it.
If you're looking more for a surround sound you would probably looking at a home theater in a box, especially to keep it within the $300 price range. The samsung HT-D5300 is a little over your price range, but it can also play blu-ray discs.
I am a Home Theater Geek Squad Installer. I know my stuff and love to give advice, but don't hold me responsible when you screw something up because you decided to do it yourself instead of having a professional do it.

I would like to play music from my iphone 5s on a sound bar with an iphone 3 dock. Is there an adapter available that will play audio please?

The genuine Apple adapter works for me, most cheap knockoffs do not support sound ,it is usually in the micro print at bottom of the ebay offerring
It is pricey by comparison but it works and the knock offs usually don't pay the patent licence fee hence they guess the technology that is in the lightning plug
and charge a minimal price

IPhone no longer compatible with iPhone dock after 2.1

I have an iPhone dock attached to my PC for power, with an audio out to a stereo system. Before the update I would pop it in the dock and use the remote to control music. Neat. After the 2.1 update, when I put the iPhone in the dock I get the alert saying that the iPhone is not compatible with the equipment and asking if I want to switch it to airplane mode as a consequence. The remote only controls volume now, not play/pause, skip or menu. So, of what benefit is it for the iPhone now not to be compatible with the iPhone dock? Or am I the only one experiencing this problem?

Which iPhone dock are you referring to?
If you mean the iPhone dock that came with the original iPhone then it is not made for the iPhone 3G as the phone does not fit. There is no other iPhone dock other than the dock that Apple are now selling here :-

This dock does provide the functions to which you refer.

IPhone not compatible with iPhone dock

Hi,
I've been using my iPhone with both the original iPhone dock and the universal dock for a loooong time, but the past few months there has been a problem.
When the iPhone is connected to the iPhone dock/universal dock it says (rough translation): "This equipment is not designed to work with iPhone, do you want to activate plane mode [...]"
But all is original apple equipment and all should be compatible - what can I do ?
Thanks
Jens, Denmark

Mine is currently doing this, it is also not shutting off, it reboots right after I try and turn it off, and it is not charging through my Macbook either. It won't even show up in ITunes. When I connect it it says that a USB device is draining too much power and has been disconnected. Terrific. Can't charge and won't shut off.

Sound problems with iPhone 5s video. Help please

When recording a video using my iPhone 5s the only sound you can hear on play back is a loud crackling noise. There are no problems with the picture of the video, just the messed up audio. What is causing this annoyingly crackling noise and how do I fix it?

Sound problems with iphones, first generation

Hi,
I have a problem that appeared with my iphone: sometimes, the phone doesn't recognise that I have removed the earphones/handsfree and therefore doesn't send any sound to the normal phone's speaker, nor does it turn on the microphone to pick up what I am saying. I then have two options: either to put it on loudspeaker, or to plug-in my handsfree.
I solved the issues twice in the past by just plugging in & out the earphones a few times, start-stopping the ipod music through the earphone controller, and restarting the iphone. But this time it has stuck.
Many French users report similar problems http://www.iphonefr.com/viewtopic.php?id=5223
Any suggestion? I've tried blowing hard into the connector, without success. Do other people have the same problem? Is it an officially recognised problem by Apple? Is there any "command-line" operation / reset that could trick this? Thanks in advance for any help / suggestions.

Thank you for your reply. I'll continue trying to pull out/in the connectors, slowly, to get it to change mode...
More generally, I would have thought that this was more of a software issue than hardware. And hence I would have expected that a small "command line" could have gotten the phone out of it's f*ed up status...

Sound issues with Iphone 4?

My sound stopped working on my phone for phone calls only. The speaker phone option works but I cannot hear any sound if it is not on speaker phone.

Have been to store twice for this. They told me it's a software bug and I had to wipe out the phone and restore with new software as opposed to restore from backup. That seemed to solve the issue...have had good calls for the past 4 days...until tonight...when the same issue occured again. Arggghhh. Outbound call, on my headset, and the speaker phone turns on. Once that happens, everytime I try to make an outbound call, with or without headset, speaker phone comes on and no one can hear me on the other end. Toggling the speaker phone button does nothing. I have not swapped out the phone (they offered to at the store) because one of their experts was 100% certain it's a software issue. For whatever reason, it's not returned. I have not reinstalled a new incidence of the phone software because I haven't had time. May have to do this tomorrow. Appreciate insight from others on what has worked for them. As I said, installing the phone as a new phone and not from backup worked...for 4 days.

Sound issue with iPhone 4 playback. Help

I'm using my iPhone 4 as an iPod for the first time and for some reason it has a strange echo effect that makes the sound muffled and completely silences parts of songs. Is there a setting to fix this?
I'm drawing blanks

If you are using the headphones try pushing them in a little more. I had this issue too and since I have a bumper on my phone I figured it wasn't all the way in.

Sound problems with iphone

i download a audible episode everyday and this week it intermitantly sounds almost like a scratchy underwater sound. normally i go to the website and download the episode everyday. this week i saw that i could download it automatically by subscribing to the podcast. but i don't see how that could have caused a difference. it only happens a couple times during a 4 hour program but continues till rewind and replay then its fine for around an hour.
so has anyone else experienced this.

Same thing happens with me. 1 or 2 minutes of a weird sound in every book. Apple should investigate this. It is REALLY annoying.

Sound problems with iPhone 5

I have an iPhone 5, my ring tone works and is audible when people ring me however I don't get a text tone or any sound whilst I'm playing music, any ideas?

i found the problem just now. I checked everything in notification center, in whatsapp and Skype. all settings are good. Finally i found that I by mistake turned on the "do not disturb" so there is a half moon shown on the top of the screen. I turned it off and everything is ok now. hope can help some of you

Sony HT-CT100 sound bar with sub woofer

I just set up this system with my TV and I am getting very good sound, however nothing that even remotely sounds like surround sound.
Question: I connected my TV to the woofer with an HDMI cable. I also have a satellite tuner connected to the TV. Do I also need to connect the satellite tuner to the woofer? Would this improve the sound ? The satellite tuner cannot accept a HDMI cable but the instruction book tells me what kind of cables I would have to buy.
Thank you very much.

You can plug the satallite into the sub woofer, however it won't make the 3.1 sound more like surrond sound. It will enable you to hear your satilitte through the soundbar. I agree with the above recommendation of getting an audio calabration, that will help make sure the sound is reaching all seating areas of the room, making it sound more like surround sound. Hope that helps
